I really got into the spirit that if it was a teenage magazine, I'd make it erotic! (Laughs) It would have been boring if I just did the eroticism normally, so I tried to do as much as I could without showing extreme nudity. In that respect, I'd do what I did in "Video Girl" in full swing. (Laughs) But, unlike simple love stories, I tried to change the direction from the main plot all the time. That sort of idea is easy for me. I feel that a normal manga uses up more energy.
The presently serialized comic "I's" is full of accidents and bad luck...(Laughs)
Yes, that's because the ideas that come up during our meetings always start with "How can we cause trouble?" (Laughs) Actually, when I started serializing it, I was thought to myself, "What's funny about this?" But as I keep working on it, I’ve decided that I'd do a comic about a main character that has fantasies. Then I had to make sure I did a professional job! (Laughs)
The names. When I write it out, it should sound right. I have to think thoroughly about what they say and the feelings of the characters, so this takes a long time. Before, my script drafts in my comics were detailed, but that may not be the case now... For pens I usually use ball point pens. For sound effects I use "kabura" pens, and when I do touch-ups, I don't change my pens.
